Chilly Cheese Toast - Anytime Snack

"Chilly Cheese Toast" is one of my favorite any-time snack and also a very comforting snack...!!The best Chilly Cheese Toast I've had was at "Lake View" on MG Road in Bangalore... but that was in the late 90s. A trip to MG Road with friends was incomplete without a visit to "India Coffee House" for the "Mutton cutlets" and "Lake view" restaurant for "Chilly Cheese Toast".The memories of the lovely moments spent with my friends there is just unforgettable...!Serves 2Ingredients:Bread - 5 slices cut into triangluar halvesGreen chillies - 2 - finely chopped or grated using a electric blender/chopperCheese - Mozarella or Cheddar (whichever you like) - grated - 1 cupOregano - 1 tbspRed chilly flakes - 1 tsp Salt to tasteMethod:Take a large bowl, add the grated cheese, green chilly, red chilly, oregano and salt as required and mix well.

Take a large baking tray, arrange the bread slices on to this tray and evenly top these slices with the grated cheese mixture.Now toast these in a preheated oven (OTG) for 8-10 minutes till the cheese has melted and the slices have turned golden.If you do not have an oven, you could keep these on a flat tawa/griddle and toast them on low heat till the cheese begins to melt.Serve immediately.

About Me

I am a Graduate Engineer (BE Computer Science from Mysore University. I have worked in the IT industry for 13+ yrs, have undertaken the journey from a Trainee to a Project Manager and then decided to take up the job to be full time Mom and Home Maker because my only daughter needed me more than the company I worked for. Now after a short break, I decided to get back to the Corporate world....juggling between home, office and family is not easy, but thanks to my husband and my daughter for their wonderful support, I am enjoying every bit of my new role. I have a passion for cooking, and used to cook something new and different every meal every day, but now although cooking happens everyday, new and innovative cooking happens only during the weekends.
